Description
Wo 95/31952 PCI'/EP95/01912 21 qO723 Absorbent sanitary product, in particular an incnntinen-e napkin, diaper or the like The invention refers to an absorbent sanitary product, in particular aninContinence n~pkin diaper or the like with the features mention~-l in the preamble of claim 1.
Sanitary products of the generic type are well-known and usually provided vith a liquid-irnpervious underwear-protecting layer for instance produced of a thin polyethylene filrn cont~cting the clothes of the user.
Furthermore it is provided with a liquid-permeable, body-cont~ctin~
covering layer, for instance of hyrophylic nollwove~L An absorbent body is inserted between these two layer~s, usually concistin~ of cellulose fluffs comprising super-absorbing particles dispersed therein. The absorbent body can be of varied forms, for inst~n~e it is strictly rect~n~l~r or -to better suit the ~n~tomic needs - it is of an hourglass form, so that the absorbent body in the gore area has a ~ width and runs straight to the front and to the back end parallel to the lon~tll~lin~
direction of the sa~i~y product.
Modern sanitary products are also equipped with two so called cuffs that run on each loneitv-lin~l side of these products, the foot portion of these cuffs being attached to the covering layer and the head portion being provided with elastic straightening elements, for instance by means of elastic rubber threads. These cuffs s~lbst~nti~lly illlyr-~v~ the leakage protection of pertinent sanitary products.

Modern sanitary products are also equipped with two so called cuffs that run on each loneitv-lin~l side of these products, the foot portion of these cuffs being attached to the covering layer and the head portion being provided with elastic straightening elements, for instance by means of elastic rubber threads. These cuffs s~lbst~nti~lly illlyr-~v~ the leakage protection of pertinent sanitary products.
2 1 9 0 7 2 3 PCT/EP95/01912 Usually the cuffs are straight in the longitudinal direction of cornrnon sanitary products, it being possible to provide cuffs that are relatively close to each other and run on the absorbent body over their entire length, even in the constricted gore area of the sanitary product. Other cuffs are known which are still straight but placed closer to the sides, thus extending, at least in the sanitary product's constricted gore area, along the outside of the absorbent body on the projecting edges of the underwear-protecting layer and cover layer interconn~cted there.
The cuffs first m~ntioned, which are relatively close to each other, have the disadvantage that a considerable portion of the absorptive surface of the absorbent body lies beside the reach of the cuffs and therefore can not be utilized for the direct absorption of body fluids. This disadvantage also applies to those sanitary products having cuffs situated closer to the sides, since a considerabIe portion of the surface of the absorbent body is also located to the side of the cuffs.
Another disadvantage of common sanitary products is that the cuffs can bend over in an llncontrollable manner - for inct~n~e towards the outside - which causes a considerable loss of the sealing efficiency. The prior art solution coping with this deficiency consists in that the cuffs are bent inwards in the area of their longitudinal ends, in which position they are glued onto the covering layer (so-called tack-downs).
A particular shortcorning of cormnon incontin~nce Ilapkins with cuffs further resides in that in particular bedridden incontinence patients tend to lie on the cuf~;, which may cause pressure marks and in the worst case bedsores.
Proceeding from the above-mentioned prior art problems, it is an object of the invention to hll~rove an absorbent sanitary product of the generic type so that the cuffs can fulfill their sealing function in an optimal manner without impairing the absorptive capacity of the absorbent body and the wearing comfort.
~1 qO723 This object is achieved by the features cited in the characterising part of claim 1. The according te~chin~ is a particularly clever profiling of the lonEihl~in~l edges of the absorbent body, which in combination with the curved course of the cuffs' foot para'lel to said longit1lr'in~1 edge will lead to special advantages. Tests have revealed that the indicated profiling results in a high wearing co-nfort and a good absorbing capacity, since an especia'ly large width of t_e absorbent body is available before and behind the gore area due to the m~Yi~ .,n of width accordi'ng to the invention. This m~X;~ of width also increases the wear'ng cornfort, firstly because the absorbent body's edges are situated far to the side of especally the exposed body parts of bedridden patients, where the pre~ e of the body resting on the mattress has already considerably decreased. Furthermore, the cuff takes the optimal course since its foot follows the associated lon~ 'in~l edge of the absorbent body, so that the cuffs autornatically stand upright in the constricted gore area, thus optimally suiting a wearer's gore area This guarantees a good sealing f~ln~ion With the provided course of the absorbent body and the c?~s foot to both the ends, the cuff automatica'ly bends towards the inside and forms a type of pocket, w.~ich proves to be opti-nal concerning the acceptance of body fluids and excrements This will be explained in detail, taken in conjl-n~tion with the exemplary embo-imPnt Snmmin~ up, it can be said that the absorbent body and the cuf~ have a shape which comes up with physical requirements and guarantees a pefect fit and the tightness of the absorbent sanitary product.
Other features, details, advantages and preferred embodiments of the present invention will become apparent f om tLe subclaims and the folIowing description of an example of emborliment taken in coniunction with the drawings in which WO ~5/31952 PCT/EP9~/01912 2l 90723 Fig. 1 is a perspective view of an incontinence napkin according to the invention, and ig. 2 is a diagr~mm~tic cross section according to the line II-II of Fig. 1.
As can be seen in the drawings, the inrontin~nce napkin is provided with a liquid-proof underwear-protecting layer 1 of a thin polyethylene film cont~hng the clothes of the user. A liquid-perrneable covering layer 2 of hydrophilic nonwoven facing the wearer's body is provided. Between said layers 1 and 2 an absorbent body 3 is inserted, which consists of a base pad 4 which faces the underwear-protecting layer 1 and a covering pad 5 attached on top of the base pad 4 and facing the covering layer 2. The base pad 4 con~;clc of common cellulose fluffs, while the covering pad 5, as a so-called "nest of swelling particlesn, can for inct~nce be of an air-laid nonwovell material, mixed with super-absorbing particles not explicitly showIL Other material combin~tions are known from the prior art and can also be u~ili7ed.
As seen in particular in Fig. 2, the edges of the underwear-protecting layer 1 and of covering layer 2 project from the absorbent body on all sides and are interconnected in the projecting areas by layers of glue 6.
These glue layers 6 also extend between the underwear-protecting layer 1 and base pad 4 on the one hand and the covering pad 5 and covering layer 2 on the other hand.
The inrontinçn~e napl~n's structure and the m~ten~l~ used described so far are completely common and require no further explanation.
On the covering layer 2, cuffs 7, 7' are provided on each of the longitudinal edges, which cuffs 7, 7' consist of a narrow strip of hydrophobic nonwoven fabric. The foot 8 of each cuff 7, 7' is formed as a marginal strip of the cuff bevelled to the inside, which is durably attached to the covering layer 2 by a glue layer 9. The foot 8, bevelled WO 95131952 PcIlEp95101912 to the inside, supports the rectangularly straightened position of the cuffs i, 7' shown in Fig. 2.
On the top 10 of the cuff~; 7, 7', the marginal strip constituting the latter is bent over a~d en~loses an elastic thread 11, which reaches over the entire length of the cuffs 7, T in their lonEitll~lin~l direction. The bent top 10 Of the cuffs 7, 7' is f~ctened by means of another glue cormection 12, which also holds the elastic thread. The elastic thread 11 se~ves to straighten the cuffs 7, r in a way still to be explained in detail.
Fig. 1 shows that absorbent body 3 i constricted irl the base pad area 4 so that the absorbent body in the gore area 13 has a minimllm width B.
Between thic constricted gore area 13 and the front and back end 14 and 15, the absorbent body 3 now has a ~ M of width B. Directing to the front and back end 14 and 15, the absorbent body 3 gradually decreases in width B. The longitudinal edges 16 and 16' of absorbent body 3 - i.e. of the base pad 4 - therefore describe a wavy line, which beginning from front end 14 forrns a convex area 17, the concaYely bent gore area 13 and another convex area 18.
As perceptible from Figs. 1 and 2, the foot 8 of each cuff runs parallel to the associated longitll~in~l edge 16, 16' of the absorbent body over the entire length of the incontinence nap}~ and has a curved config-uration. So the foot 8 follows the course of the cu~ve of the related longitudinal edge 16, 16' of absorbent body 3. The foot 8 of the cuffs 7, 7' is placed in direct vicinity to the associated lor~ lin~l edge 16, 16' of base pad 4 on the latter, which means inside of the longitudinal edges 16, 16'. The optimal m~rimllm space between the foot 8 and the associated longitudinal edge 16, 16' should be 10 m~n WO~S/31952 2 1 q3723 pCT/EP95/01912 Fig. 1 also shows that the elastic threads 11 in the cuffs 7, T have a special effect due to the course of the foot 8 of the cuffs 7, r. By means of these elastic threads 11 tensile forces Z are being exercised on to the cuffs 7, 7' with the effect that the top 10 of the cuff 7, T is being shortened in the longitudinal directio~ This can be noticed by the gathers in the top area Due to this shortening, the top 10 is located in the convex areas 17, 18 within the foot 8 of the cuffs 7, 7' and in the gore area on the outside. In the rn~;rl"~" area M of width B of the absorbent body 3 - i.e. in front of and behind the gore area 13 the cuffs 7, 7' will neatly bend towards the inside and form a type of pocket 19. To achieve this it is sufficient to glue the longitudinal ends 20 of cuffs 7, 7' only in the foot 8 area to the covering layer 2. The previously mentioned tack-downs can be neglected, which facilitates the production of the object of the invention. Furthermore, the tensile forces Z pull the top ends 22 in the longitudin~l direction of the napkin towards the inside, so that the end edges 23 of cuffs 7, 7' run out relatively flat and at an acute angle towards their feet.
In the gore area 13 the tensile forces Z of the elastic threads 11 have the effect that the cuffs 7, 7' automatically take a rectangular upright position, which results in excellent sealing features.
As noticeable in Fig. 1, the cover pad 5 of the absorbent body 3 has a rectangular shape and its straight longitu~in~l edges 21, 21' clearly lie inside of the lon~ in~l edges 16, 16' of the base pad 4 and especially of the course line of tops 10 of the cuffs 7, 7'.
The cuffs first m~ntioned, which are relatively close to each other, have the disadvantage that a considerable portion of the absorptive surface of the absorbent body lies beside the reach of the cuffs and therefore can not be utilized for the direct absorption of body fluids. This disadvantage also applies to those sanitary products having cuffs situated closer to the sides, since a considerabIe portion of the surface of the absorbent body is also located to the side of the cuffs.
Another disadvantage of common sanitary products is that the cuffs can bend over in an llncontrollable manner - for inct~n~e towards the outside - which causes a considerable loss of the sealing efficiency. The prior art solution coping with this deficiency consists in that the cuffs are bent inwards in the area of their longitudinal ends, in which position they are glued onto the covering layer (so-called tack-downs).
A particular shortcorning of cormnon incontin~nce Ilapkins with cuffs further resides in that in particular bedridden incontinence patients tend to lie on the cuf~;, which may cause pressure marks and in the worst case bedsores.

As can be seen in the drawings, the inrontin~nce napkin is provided with a liquid-proof underwear-protecting layer 1 of a thin polyethylene film cont~hng the clothes of the user. A liquid-perrneable covering layer 2 of hydrophilic nonwoven facing the wearer's body is provided. Between said layers 1 and 2 an absorbent body 3 is inserted, which consists of a base pad 4 which faces the underwear-protecting layer 1 and a covering pad 5 attached on top of the base pad 4 and facing the covering layer 2.

As seen in particular in Fig. 2, the edges of the underwear-protecting layer 1 and of covering layer 2 project from the absorbent body on all sides and are interconnected in the projecting areas by layers of glue 6.
These glue layers 6 also extend between the underwear-protecting layer 1 and base pad 4 on the one hand and the covering pad 5 and covering layer 2 on the other hand.
The inrontinçn~e napl~n's structure and the m~ten~l~ used described so far are completely common and require no further explanation.
On the covering layer 2, cuffs 7, 7' are provided on each of the longitudinal edges, which cuffs 7, 7' consist of a narrow strip of hydrophobic nonwoven fabric. The foot 8 of each cuff 7, 7' is formed as a marginal strip of the cuff bevelled to the inside, which is durably attached to the covering layer 2 by a glue layer 9. The foot 8, bevelled WO 95131952 PcIlEp95101912 to the inside, supports the rectangularly straightened position of the cuffs i, 7' shown in Fig. 2.
On the top 10 of the cuff~; 7, 7', the marginal strip constituting the latter is bent over a~d en~loses an elastic thread 11, which reaches over the entire length of the cuffs 7, T in their lonEitll~lin~l direction. The bent top 10 Of the cuffs 7, 7' is f~ctened by means of another glue cormection 12, which also holds the elastic thread. The elastic thread 11 se~ves to straighten the cuffs 7, r in a way still to be explained in detail.
Fig. 1 shows that absorbent body 3 i constricted irl the base pad area 4 so that the absorbent body in the gore area 13 has a minimllm width B.
Between thic constricted gore area 13 and the front and back end 14 and 15, the absorbent body 3 now has a ~ M of width B. Directing to the front and back end 14 and 15, the absorbent body 3 gradually decreases in width B. The longitudinal edges 16 and 16' of absorbent body 3 - i.e. of the base pad 4 - therefore describe a wavy line, which beginning from front end 14 forrns a convex area 17, the concaYely bent gore area 13 and another convex area 18.
As perceptible from Figs. 1 and 2, the foot 8 of each cuff runs parallel to the associated longitll~in~l edge 16, 16' of the absorbent body over the entire length of the incontinence nap}~ and has a curved config-uration. So the foot 8 follows the course of the cu~ve of the related longitudinal edge 16, 16' of absorbent body 3. The foot 8 of the cuffs 7, 7' is placed in direct vicinity to the associated lor~ lin~l edge 16, 16' of base pad 4 on the latter, which means inside of the longitudinal edges 16, 16'. The optimal m~rimllm space between the foot 8 and the associated longitudinal edge 16, 16' should be 10 m~n WO~S/31952 2 1 q3723 pCT/EP95/01912 Fig. 1 also shows that the elastic threads 11 in the cuffs 7, T have a special effect due to the course of the foot 8 of the cuffs 7, r. By means of these elastic threads 11 tensile forces Z are being exercised on to the cuffs 7, 7' with the effect that the top 10 of the cuff 7, T is being shortened in the longitudinal directio~ This can be noticed by the gathers in the top area Due to this shortening, the top 10 is located in the convex areas 17, 18 within the foot 8 of the cuffs 7, 7' and in the gore area on the outside. In the rn~;rl"~" area M of width B of the absorbent body 3 - i.e. in front of and behind the gore area 13 the cuffs 7, 7' will neatly bend towards the inside and form a type of pocket 19. To achieve this it is sufficient to glue the longitudinal ends 20 of cuffs 7, 7' only in the foot 8 area to the covering layer 2.
